LYRICS
作曲 : Paris Paloma
You said those words and suddenly I'm five
And boys are bringing bugs just to kill them for my eyes
And I can see their hunger,
looking for a sign that any of their destruction has me suffering inside
You take such delight in killing my light
If I don't make a sound, does it even hurt?
I'm bending to the ground just to pick up little worms
And I have seen you relish, such violence with a joy
that I've only seen before in the eyes of little boys,
discovering their power for the first time.
You kissed me so hard, I had a grazed chin.
I saw your eyes spark at the breaking
and in them I see a hunger looking for a sign
That any of your destruction had me suffering inside
It fills you with light to take away mine
[comment: In some cultures, cutting the tongue is seen as a form of sacrifice and a way to show devotion to a higher power. It is believed that by cutting the tongue, the individual is offering their voice and ability to speak as a sacrifice to their deity. This act of sacrifice is seen as a way to gain favor and blessings from the divine.]
At the cutting of your tongue, all I hear is shredding wings
Before me is a man who cares not for little things
And now I have my answer from when I wondered who those little boys became,
because they grew up to be you
You've been playing with your power for a long time, A long time
You've been playing with your power for a long time
